What's the big deal about a camp experience?

Teamwork

Being a valuable part of a team is crucial, not only to "win" but also to survive in today's world.
We value teaching and modeling the transferable skills of team building and teamwork.

Persistence

This is her third try, and with only one arm. At our camp, reaching the top is important, but
learning about and practicing persistence is even more so because this is a skill that can be used in
every part of life, every day for the rest of our lives.

Friendship

These two only met that morning. Our leaders provide purposeful, daily opportunities for young people
to learn how to develop new relationships and get along with others. At our camp, we teach how to make
friends.

Success

We aim higher. Our campers love learning how to hit an archery target. But at our camp, we focus
even more on hitting the targets for success! So we use activities like archery to talk about the
power of what we say to ourselves when we are trying hard things, to focus on confidence,
step-by-step improvement, and more.

Until there is a cure, there is a camp.

Remember summertime as a kid? Flying kites, coloring with chalk, swimming, laughing, boating—life was an adventure. But children with cancer may never have the same chance because of hospital visits, chemotherapy, and missed opportunities.

Camp Watcha-Wanna-Do provides children with cancer and brain tumors the opportunity to enjoy life as kids should.

Your donation gives campers a chance to find friends who understand the disease, but rise above it, unhindered, and able to do anything they want to do. You can be a part of something with lasting impact on a child and his or her family.

Whether large or small, any donation can open a door for a child to be free of his or her cancer for a whole week. It allows them to enjoy all things that make life exciting—laughter, friends, and fun activities.

Donation opportunities include the following:

Make a one-time donation of any amount

Make a monthly donation of any amount

Sponsor one camper for a week for $500

Sponsor an entire cabin for one week for $2,500

JR’s Poem

Sit down and let me tell you a story about the camp I go to called Camp Watcha Wanna-do!
It’s a place where miracles really do come true.
A place where you do all the things you never thought you could do.
A place that helps cancer kids make it through.
A place where cancer kids bond and make friends.
The type of friends that will help them through the think and the thin.
Friendships that will last to the very end.
It’s a place where second families begin.
That’s why Camp Watcha-Wanna-Do is the place for me and you!
